Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

2

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, further comprising modifying one or more overlay attributes of the overlay element, the one or more overlay attributes including overlay position information, overlay size information, overlay text information, overlay color information, illustrated graphical UI elements information, overlay orientation information, overlay customized graphics information, or any combination thereof.

3

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the created overlay element has one or more overlay attributes including overlay position information, overlay size information, overlay text information, overlay color information, illustrated graphical UI elements information, overlay orientation information, overlay customized graphics information, or any combination thereof.

4

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the overlay context information for the created overlay element is based on a user communication context, a user location context, a user event context, a user external event context, a user interest context, or any combination thereof.

5

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the overlay context information for the created overlay element is based on a user communication context, the user communication context identifying at least one current or recent user communication between the user and one or more other users in the social network and a social relationship of the one or more other users.

6

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the overlay context information for the created overlay element is based on a user location context, the user location context identifying at least one user location including at least one approximate location of the mobile device associated with the user.

7

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the overlay context information for the created overlay element is based on a user event context, the user event context identifying at least one event in which the user intends to participate, a location of the event, and a number of other users connected to the user in the social network that are also intending to participate or are currently participating in the event.

8

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the overlay context information for the created overlay element is based on a user external event context, the user external event context including one or more external events in one or more regions associated with a current location of the user, the external events including a weather event, a sports event, a holiday event, or any combination thereof.

9

9. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the overlay context information for the created overlay element is based on a user interest context, the user interest context identifying one or more current interests of the user including a favorite artist, favorite movie, favorite music, favorite book, favorite sport, favorite location, favorite food, or any combination thereof.

11

11. The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 10, wherein the instructions further cause the mobile device to modify one or more overlay attributes of the overlay element, the one or more overlay attributes including overlay position information, overlay size information, overlay text information, overlay color information, illustrated graphical UI elements information, overlay orientation information, overlay customized graphics information, or any combination thereof.

12

12. The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 10, wherein the created overlay element has one or more overlay attributes including overlay position information, overlay size information, overlay text information, overlay color information, illustrated graphical UI elements information, overlay orientation information, overlay customized graphics information, or any combination thereof.

13

13. The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 10, wherein the overlay context information for the created overlay element is based on a user communication context, a user location context, a user event context, a user external event context, a user interest context, or any combination thereof.

15

15. The system of claim 14, wherein the instructions further cause the processing circuitry to modify one or more overlay attributes of the overlay element, the one or more overlay attributes including overlay position information, overlay size information, overlay text information, overlay color information, illustrated graphical UI elements information, overlay orientation information, overlay customized graphics information, or any combination thereof.

16

16. The system of claim 14, wherein the created overlay element has one or more overlay attributes including overlay position information, overlay size information, overlay text information, overlay color information, illustrated graphical UI elements information, overlay orientation information, overlay customized graphics information, or any combination thereof.

17

17. The system of claim 14, wherein the overlay context information for the created overlay element is based on a user communication context, the user communication context identifying at least one current or recent user communication between the user and one or more other users in the social network and a social relationship of the one or more other users.
